| YUM! Mixed variety of raspberries |
I've been listening to a big variety of music lately.
It started me thinking about how important a variety of music might be to make sure to get a balanced diet of the arts.
Seriously, I can only listen to a few songs of certain kinds of music (Bluegrass, Hard Rock, serious Jazz) before I NEED to hear something else. Then I go back to my standard courses of salad, favorite cheese, chicken, garden veggies kind of music.
But it is really good for me to try a little kimchee, chili rellenos, Thai tea and others that I don't have much of in my diet. Pizza is a nice change, but I wouldn't want to eat it every day. Same with music.
I got a package in the mail recently of a new children's CD called Gratitude Attitude They included one my songs "Only Take What You Need" which I wrote and recorded a few (quite a few) years back on Around the World with Earth Mama. It is a Dixieland Jazz song that is another version of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle concept. I still love to sing it in concert and get folks, young and old to sing along. And I was tickled pink that several reviews of Gratitude Attitude mentioned my song as one of their family favorites.
But I may never write or record another DixieLand tune. It's not really at the core of what I do, so I really enjoyed the variety of doing it once.
There is a world of tasty music out there!! What do you listen to when you want to hear something different?
